According to The Information, three people familiar with the matter said that Manus AI's team is in talks with potential investors, including U.S. venture capital institutions, to plan a new round of financing at a valuation of at least $500 million (about 3.75 billion yuan), which is about five times higher than the previous valuation. It is reported that Manus uses tools such as Anthropic's Claude AI model, and pays Anthropic an average of $2 per task. The new round of financing may open Manus to more users. In response to this news, Butterfly Effect responded: The financing situation will not be commented.
